Here's a little feature that allows you to easily retrieve the favicon of a URL

<?php
/**
 * Get favicon from a URL.
 * 
 * @param string $sUrl
 * @return string The favicon image.
 */
function get_favicon($sUrl)
{
	$sApiUrl = 'http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=';
	$sDomainName = get_domain($sUrl);
	
	return $sApiUrl . $sDomainName;
}

/**
 * Get domain name from a URL (helper function).
 * 
 * @param string $sUrl
 * @return string $sUrl Returns the URL to lower case and without the www. if present in the URL.
 */
function get_domain($sUrl)
{
        $sUrl = str_ireplace('www.', '', $sUrl);
        $sHost = parse_url($sUrl, PHP_URL_HOST);
        return $sHost;
}
?>

To check if your Internet connection is enabled, a simple solution is this function:

<?php
/**
 * Check Internet Connection.
 * 
 * @param string $sCheckHost Default: http://www.google.com
 * @return boolean
 */
function check_internet_connection($sCheckHost = 'http://www.google.com') 
{
    return (bool) @fopen($sCheckHost, 'r');
}
?>

A function is a little more advanced:

<?php
/**
 * Check Internet Connection.
 * 
 * @param string $sCheckHost Default: www.google.com
 * @return boolean
 */
function check_internet_connection($sCheckHost = 'www.google.com') 
{
    return (bool) @fsockopen($sCheckHost, 80, $iErrno, $sErrStr, 5);
}
?>

Example of use:

<?php
$bIsConnected = check_internet_connection();
$sText = ($bIsConnected) ? '<p style="color:green">You are currently connected to the Internet.</p>' : '<p style="color:red">You are ...
